Updated Striped Hat Pattern!! (3 Sizes!)

I finally got this pattern worked out for Child/ Women's/ and Men's sizes.  This pattern IS different from the other version... but I thought this was a little easier to follow.



Materials: 

· I hook (hat body) and H hook (bottom rim)

· 4 colors of Worsted, Med yarn. (I used Vanna’s choice Sapphire, Chocolate, Mustard, and Olive)

Special stitch: 

This diagram shows where the horizontal bar (or diagonal looking stitch) is located (on WRONG SIDE of rnd):

ALL SIZES:

Ch 4, ss to 1st ch to form loop (or do a magic circle), ch 2.

Rnd 1: With color #1: Work 8 hdc into loop. Join with ss to back horizontal bar (or diagonal loop -- that's what it looks like to me!) behind beginning (you will do this through the whole pattern! See special stitch picture above) ch 1. Change to color #2. (8) ch 1.

Rnd 2: Work 2 hdc in same st as joining (always do this at the beginning of each row). 2 hdc in each back diagonal st around. This will make the stripes stand out, so remember to always do it throughout pattern. Join & change to color #3. (16) ch 1.

Rnd 3: 2 hdc in same st as joining, 1 hdc in next st. * 2 hdc in next st, 1 hdc in next st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 4. (24) ch 1.

Rnd 4: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 2 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 2 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 1. (32) ch 1.

Rnd 5: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 3 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 3 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 2. (40) ch 1.

Rnd 6: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 4 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 4 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 3. (48) ch 1.

I used 3 colors on this one
and it just didn't have the
same look as the 4. For
beard pattern see links

Child's Size: (Small)

Rnd 7-18: hdc in each st around changing colors after each row. (48) (Note: always feel free to make the hat shorter or longer by taking out rows or adding them)

Rnd 19: With H hook: sc in back diagonal loops around.

Rnd 20-22: sc around in each sc stitch.

Fasten and finish off.

Women's Size: (Medium)

Rnd 7: 2 hdc in same st as joining, hdc in next 5 st. * 2 hdc in next st, hdc in next 5 st. Repeat from *. Join & change to color # 4. (56) ch 1.

Patterns Coming Soon!!

Things have been crazy for ALL of us this Christmas season.  And I know we haven't been keeping up to date, BUT It doesn't mean we haven't been plotting and planning for what comes next!

I have some patterns all written out... not yet typed or with pictures, but getting ready to post.  Among those are the children's, woman's, and updated men's versions of this hat:

The super popular Striped Hat.

I have also written a pattern for the popular beard, that goes GREAT with the striped hat above:

I have also designed 2 different types of fun mustaches, the handlebar (as seen above) and the curled up mustache (for the sillier among us).

I made these for my family this year, and it was the BIG HIT!  It was amazing to me that something so simple could bring so much laughter and fun.  It was great.

These patterns will all be posted no later than the end of next week.

Happy Crocheting!! Pin It
